PREFACE. 

This work is designed especially, but not 
exclusively, for the younger classes of Sab- 
bath Schools. It embraces a general and 
connected account of the most important 
events recorded in the Old and New Testa- 
ments. The answers to questions are short, 
simple, and, as far as practicable, in Bible 
language. In the New Testament, the ques- 
tions on the evangelists are taken from them 
all collectively, and not in the order of any 
one in particular. Such a general view of the 

contents of the Bible seems necessary, as an 
introduction to the study of particular portions 
of it. 



4 Preface. 

The series of Union Questions in eight 
volumes, published by the Society, is now used 
more or less extensively by all evangelical de- 
nominations, and is found well adapted to the 
development and illustration of divine truth. 
This little manual may be regarded as in- 
troductory to that series. 

DCJ 3 The chapter and verse containing the 
answer are stated wherever it is practicable, 
and the teacher can enlarge the course of in- 
struction at his discretion.
